Description
A Wild Sheep Chase Novel by Haruki Murakami
I had been reading “backward” in time (which seems, in saying so very much a thing Murakami would appreciate). Then, I started reading mainly from his first works forward. His voice and style have grown more confident and pure over time. So in Wild Sheep Chase, which is neither his first nor more recent work, it is simply brilliant to see his artistry in a nearly fully honed yet still raw state. All of the elements are present. All of the wonderful prose and beautiful contrast of depth, subtlety, nuance, and brash modernity are here.
Our hero is imperfect and conflicted. He is faced with a bizarre and absurd choice, taking the wrong option for all the worst (but very human) reasons. He finds himself engulfed in a world that seems similar and parallel but is not part of reality. Murakami employs no convenient devices to make this seem plausible; on the contrary woos us with mysticism entwined with humor and a wry wink, a nearly constant aside, to the reader. The plot is known from nearly the start, and the outcome is a mystery to or perhaps beyond the end. Joy!
